PRECAUTIONS

Your micro Albatros should not be considered a toy, but 

rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very 
much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance 
capabilities, the Micro Albatros, if not assembled and 
operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself 
or spectators and damage to property.

 1.  Operate the plane 

according to the instructions

DO NOT

 alter or modify the model. If you make any 

modifi cations, you void your warranty.

 2.   

Test

 the operation of the model 

before each fl ight

 to 

insure that all equipment is operating properly and 
that the model remains structurally sound.

 3.   Fly only indoors or on very calm days (with wind speeds 

less than 5mph) and in large open areas free of trees, 
people, buildings, or any other obstacles.

 4.  Although the Micro Albatros is designed to be 

successfully fl own by the fi rst time pilot, you may 
still benefi t from the assistance of an experienced 
pilot for your fi rst fl ights. If you’re not a member of 
an R/C club, your local hobby shop has information 
about clubs in your area whose membership includes 
experienced pilots. You can also contact the National 

Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over 2,500 

chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training 
programs and insured newcomer training are available 
through any of these clubs. Contact the AMA at the 
following address or toll-free phone number:

The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable 

as your experience grows. Your chances for success 
and graduation to higher levels are very good if you take 

your time and follow the fl ying instructions carefully 

and completely. We hope you enjoy fl ying your Micro 

Albatros plane.
